Podcast Version: Pinnacle Health Group Masterclass - Psychosocial Support in the Workplace
Thanks for listening to the audio version of our Masterclass "Psychosocial Support in the Workplace" - clearly a huge topic, and front of mind for many of you right now! As mentioned, the session today aimed to share some insights into not only the changes in WHS legislation and requirements of workplaces to manage psychosocial hazards, but also the broader context and integration of these requirements with the overall HS&W strategy at your organisation.
As also mentioned - this session only scratched the surface in terms of understanding best practice, and how to actually implement the risk management process in your workplace.
The Model Code of Practice (i.e. how to actually implement the process at your organisation) can be found below, using the link.
